-.SH DESCRIPTION
-megatron is used to transform files from BinHex,
-MacBinary, AppleSingle, or \fBnetatalk\fR style
-AppleDouble formats into MacBinary or \fInetatalk\fR
-style AppleDouble formats. The \fInetatalk\fR
-style AppleDouble format is the file format used by \fIafpd,\fR
-the \fInetatalk\fR Apple Filing Protocol
-(AppleShare) server. BinHex, MacBinary, and AppleSingle are commonly used
-formats for transferring Macintosh files between machines via email or
-file transfer protocols. megatron uses its name to
-determine what type of tranformation is being asked of it.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
-If megatron is called as unhex
-, unbin or unsingle, it tries to
-convert file(s) from BinHex, MacBinary, or AppleSingle into AppleDouble
-format. BinHex is the format most often used to send Macintosh files by
-e\-mail. Usually these files have an extension of ".hqx". MacBinary
-is the format most often used by terminal emulators "on the fly"
-when transferring Macintosh files in binary mode. MacBinary files often
-have an extension of ".bin". Some Macintosh LAN\-based email
-packages use uuencoded AppleSingle format to "attach" or
-"enclose" files in email. AppleSingle files don't have a
-standard filename extension.
+\fBmegatron\fR
+is used to transform files from BinHex, MacBinary, AppleSingle, or
+\fBnetatalk\fR
+style AppleDouble formats into MacBinary or
+\fBnetatalk\fR
+style AppleDouble formats\&. The
+\fBnetatalk\fR
+style AppleDouble format is the file format used by
+\fBafpd,\fR
+the
+\fBnetatalk\fR
+Apple Filing Protocol (AppleShare) server\&. BinHex, MacBinary, and AppleSingle are commonly used formats for transferring Macintosh files between machines via email or file transfer protocols\&.
+\fBmegatron\fR
+uses its name to determine what type of tranformation is being asked of it\&.
.PP
-If megatron is called as hqx2bin,
-single2bin, or macbinary, it will
-try to convert the file(s) from BinHex, AppleSingle, or AppleDouble into
-MacBinary. This last translation may be useful in moving Macintosh files
-from your afpd server to some other machine when you
-can't copy them from the server using a Macintosh for some reason.
+If
+\fBmegatron\fR
+is called as
+\fBunhex\fR
+,
+\fBunbin\fR
+or
+\fBunsingle\fR, it tries to convert file(s) from BinHex, MacBinary, or AppleSingle into AppleDouble format\&. BinHex is the format most often used to send Macintosh files by e\-mail\&. Usually these files have an extension of "\&.hqx"\&. MacBinary is the format most often used by terminal emulators "on the fly" when transferring Macintosh files in binary mode\&. MacBinary files often have an extension of "\&.bin"\&. Some Macintosh LAN\-based email packages use uuencoded AppleSingle format to "attach" or "enclose" files in email\&. AppleSingle files don\'t have a standard filename extension\&.
.PP
-If megatron is called with any other name, it
-uses the default translation, namely unhex.
+If
+\fBmegatron\fR
+is called as
+\fBhqx2bin\fR,
+\fBsingle2bin\fR, or
+\fBmacbinary\fR, it will try to convert the file(s) from BinHex, AppleSingle, or AppleDouble into MacBinary\&. This last translation may be useful in moving Macintosh files from your
+\fBafpd\fR
+server to some other machine when you can\'t copy them from the server using a Macintosh for some reason\&.
.PP
-If no source file is given, or if \fIsourcefile\fR
-is `\fB\-\fR', and if the
-conversion is from a BinHex or MacBinary file, megatron
-will read from standard input.
+If
+\fBmegatron\fR
+is called with any other name, it uses the default translation, namely
+\fBunhex\fR\&.
.PP
-The filename used to store any output file is the filename that is
-encoded in the source file. MacBinary files are created with a
-".bin" extension. In the case of conflicts, the old file is
-overwritten!
+If no source file is given, or if
+\fIsourcefile\fR
